Professional life began as a printmaker. My work can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan and Brooklyn Museums as well as other institutional collections in the US, Japan, Korea and Portugal. Since then, I have explored a number of other media.

Currently my focus is on making art jewelry and some textile work. I have also practiced several Japanese arts and crafts, wood carving, basketry, mixed media sculpture, poetry and dabbled in a number of other craft-based media. Use of recycled and sustainable materials in all endeavors is of ever-increasing importance to me.

My thesis for graduation from art school considered "art as cricketsong", the defining noise of the species. All these many years later it still rings true.
